Namaste

So I was hanging out in SL, checking myself out as I do about 97% of the time I'm in-world [what can I say? I love my av.] and I get a notecard from Strawberry Singh telling me about a pretty little free dress that is at her friend Zaara's shop. [SLurl] Well, the thing that makes this story a story and not just a "Yeah, and?" story is that I was already wearing the dress and taking pictures of myself. :)

I think the full name of her store is Zaara's Indian Couture, but I could be wrong since I'm not in-world at the moment to check. There was a free box of bindis, too, so I popped one on my head and feeling inspired, I looked up "India" and ended up at this charming sim. There's even a tall mountain where you can sit in a flower and meditate. It's really nice and I'll edit this with the SLurl once I get back in-world here's the SLurl. But check out a couple of shots of me at the sim, and in the adorable free dress. It matches the free signature sandals from Lassitude & Ennui perfectly [the silver and gold ones], and I'm wearing the henna paint on my arms that Tuli had given out during the Red Stick hunt.







I've been trying the past few days to work without a facelight. I hear some of your gasps of horror. But honestly, I don't seem to need it anymore except in very certain lights. I've been playing with the Advanced Sky presets in Windlight and there are some that are just so lovely that a facelight makes me look ridiculous. Take off the lights and play around sometimes. You might be surprised. :)
